### 2/5 — Mal concepita e poco performante

*2026-05-26, version 3.4.0*

…

### 2/5 — Leaderboard kaputt??

*2026-05-15*

Schaue schon seit mehreren Tagen nach den Trikotwertungen und fliege jedesmal aus der App.

### 2/5 — Poor wrapper over the web page

*2026-05-15, version 3.4.0*

It’s literally just the web app but with some broken functionality

### 2/5 — Classic RCS

*2026-05-12, version 3.4.0*

Cheap and clunky

### 2/5 — Lame duck

*2025-05-28*

Noch zwei Stunden nach dem Rennen kein Klassement in der App??? Ist das Internet oder Druckerpresse????

### 2/5 — Annoying

*2025-05-24, version 3.4.0*

The app was not good when you want to enter competitions it takes you to links that don’t even work compare this website to the Tour de France one that one is ten times better needs an improve on details on app

### 3/5 — Worked for a moment

*2025-05-13, version 3.4.0*

And they are up and racing but the app not keeping up. Worked for stage 1 but no longer.  Do I need an account? Who knows. No help page or FAQ page when you need it.

### 1/5 — Notifications Don’t work

*2024-05-21, version 3.3.12*

Disappointing. Had to uninstall - notifications don’t function.

### 1/5 — Totally bad

*2024-05-18*

Bad Navigation, buttons are not useable, confusing…
Such a app has many potential, but this is a really bad realization of a app.

### 1/5 — A terrible app

*2024-05-15, version 3.3.12*

Needs to be blown up and started again.  It’s quite a skill to build an app so poorly and make it so hard to view fairly basic info.

It appears to be built more around spectators but any time I open it I wonder if it is even useful for them.

Given this is a grand tour, it’s pretty disappointing to see an app this bad, they’re missing out on a lot more people tuning in if they could follow along and track the race a little easier.

### 1/5 — Horrible usability

*2024-05-11*

Just one example: when clicking on a stage another overview over ALL stages opens

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-05-10, version 3.3.12*

I’m not sure what happened to this app this year. It wasn’t that bad before but now it’s nearly impossible to navigate, information is cluttered, navigation bar is under iOS safe areas and I wasn’t able to find where to look for stage results. 

I wouldn’t install this app. What a terrible experience.

### 2/5 — 打不开了

*2024-05-10*

如题

### 1/5 — Doesn’t open on iPhone 14

*2023-05-25, version 3.3.11*

I can’t get past opening screen on latest iPhone

### 1/5 — As bad as ever…

*2023-05-19, version 3.3.11*

Gloriously clunky, unchanged in decades…

### 1/5 — Quite disappointing

*2022-05-14, version 3.3.7*

Tried English as the language but didn’t seem to stick and the app is so hard to navigate.  Was watching the giro on live stream via Australia’s SBS station and was looking for additional supporting info on stages, riders, teams etc.  This app isn’t the solution.  Look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Rubbish App, Daniel

*2021-06-01, version 3.3.3*

Look at what the Tour App provides and how it does it. That is how an app works. Tour de France so easy to use and Navigate !!!!!!!!.
Your app the Giro I’m deleting totally useless.
Look at what the the SBS On Demand does it offers a replay of each stage and highlights of each stage 👍. Do that and have it so you find the videos easy on your home page !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Useless application

*2021-05-24*

Very bad design, late and confused informations delivered, terrible live coverage of the race. Could have been useful on 2021/05/24 stage (Cortina d’Ampezzo arrival), TV images being not available... In fact, official Giro App has been totally useless

### 2/5 — Poor live viewing

*2021-05-19, version 3.3.2*

The live view cuts off half the mountains! No idea how far up the climb the riders are once they go above a certain height.

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2026-05-23*

This must be one of the most useless apps on the market. Navigation is clumsy, information scarce. The worst is the „live stream“ section. For most of the time it‘s lagging by one or two days. You are much better off by checking for any live information on the internet.
If you want something that works, try Tour Tracker.

### 1/5 — No live tracking

*2026-05-22*

Worst app ever, wish I could give 0 stars

### 1/5 — Garbage won’t even load

*2026-05-20, version 3.4.0*

Garbage won’t even load

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2026-05-15*

It crashes, it lacks essential information about riders, translation is inconsistent and much, much more

### 1/5 — Live tracking obscured

*2026-05-10, version 3.4.0*

On the live tracking page the rider info panes cover the profile so you can’t see it

### 1/5 — Einziges Durcheinander

*2026-05-09*

Sprache vermischt, Anzeige der einzelnen Gruppen überlappt mit Streckenprofil. Performance nicht zeitgemäß

### 1/5 — Generic error

*2026-05-09, version 3.4.0*

Warning, there was a generic error…

### 1/5 — Bugs répétitifs

*2025-05-28*

L’application se bloque périodiquement pour chargement de données défectueux. Il faut alors supprimer l’application pour la recharger. Lassant.

### 1/5 — Manque de réactivité !

*2025-05-20*

Le « live » est très relatif !
Il faut compter dix minutes de décalage pour voir les mises à jour jour des temps et positions des concurrents !

### 1/5 — 2025

*2025-05-15*

Really useless this year.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-05-19, version 3.4.0*

Everything you need to follow the race in one convenient place. Live updates with all the details, route profiles, Strava segments and photos. Much better than following along by updating various websites.

### 5/5 — Top

*2014-05-07*

Leider nicht auf deutsch :-(

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-02-14, version 1.0.4*

All the news videos and behind the scenes. Looking forward to the 2014 season. W il Giro!

### 5/5 — I knew I could reach the latest video when I had a break in work

*2013-05-27*

I could get epic photos, news and, best of all, videos to stay updated on the Giro. Great service. Bravo

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-05-19, version 1.0.3*

Really good information, keeps you up to date.

### 5/5 — Gut geplant, exzellent umgesetzt.

*2013-05-16*

Grazie, buon lavoro.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2013-05-11*

Very handy on the go

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2013-05-09, version 1.0.3*

I like it a lot. 
Works fine for me (iPhone4) iOS 6. 
Loads of information, stage maps, photos, videos, team pages. Haven't tried the Live commentary yet. 
Content in English which should be applauded.

### 5/5 — So convenient

*2013-01-12*

Live video of the giro! Thank you

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!!

*2012-08-19*

Got to watch LIVE racing daily and since my cable network does not carry the race the app was huge in being able to get my daily racing fix.
